Big Ten Power Rankings: Penn State owns top spot in post-Week 2 poll

By Tom Dienhart, BTN.com Senior Writer, 2 weeks ago

There is no denying it: Penn State is the No. 1 team in my latest Big Ten Power Rankings, presented by ArcelorMittal. But keep an eye on Wisconsin, assuming it can get some consistent play in the passing game.

13. Northwestern (1-1). Questions persist in Evanston, especially along the offensive line. But know this: NU got off to a slow start last season, too. And things worked out OK.Last week: 5Up next: Bowling Green

14. Rutgers (0-2). The Scarlet Knights took a step back with an ugly home loss to … Eastern Michigan? Let’s hope this is the nadir.Last week: 13Up next: Morgan State
